"At the halfway mark the game remains in the balance. Zeeshan Siddiqi and Tyson Gordon put on a fantastic century partnership that kept us in the game when we were in a perilous position at lunch. Captain Rizwan Cheema and debutant Junaid Siddiqui provided useful contributions as we posted a score that was slightly under what we were after (300). Zeeshan deserved a hundred having battled his way through some good Namibian bowling but he holed out just short of the magical three figures on the stroke of tea.

Our makeshift bowling attack performed admirably and fought to the end of play. Durand Sorraine and Junaid Siddiqui were the pick of the bowlers, Durand also taking an absolute screamer of a catch at first slip. Early breakthroughs tomorrow will be the key, then if we bat well in our second innings we will provide the Namibians with a difficult run chase on the fourth day." - Head Coach Michael Dighton
